Noordhoek is about a 35 minute drive from the centre of Cape Town. It is a rural suburb right outside the heart of
traditional suburban living. It has a spectacular beach, and a wonderful restaurant/pub called Skebangas/Red Herring.
It is home to many earth hugging type people as well as yuppies who have decided that country living is where it is at.
The Noordhoek Farm Village is a great place to spend the day with a family.
